Jobs had written his phone number and license plate on the back of the card to exchange with a woman after she accidentally rear-ended his Mercedes sedan in the early 1990s, according to the letter of provenance accompanying the card.

One of the lots in the auction features a note Jobs wrote to a 6-year-old in 1982 at the request of the boy's father.

He wrote: "When I was 6 years old we didn't have computers. You're lucky. Keep learning about computers and how they are going to help us communicate with each other. You are our future."
